Sixty participants (26 males, 34 females) who were patients
already suffering from LBP were recruited for the study (Table 2).
Males and females over the age of 18 were eligible, and participants’
ages ranged from 20 to 83 (mean ¼ 47.08, SD ¼ 16.17).
Eligibility criteria also required that participants were currently in
or were in jobs involving manual labor, prolonged sitting/standing
and suffering from low back pain. This criteria was included in the
recruitment flyers and the determination was made by verbally
asking the participants if their job involved any kind of manual
labor such as lifting, or prolonged sitting and standing. Participants
were compensated $50 for completing the study protocols.
Participation in the study was voluntarily and all participants were
required to sign an informed consent form approved by the Mississippi
State University (MSU) Institutional Review Board for the
Protection of Human Subjects in Research (IRB) prior to participation.
Other participant demographics are directly related to
personal risk factors, and are presented in Table 4 in the results
